I have about five DBH fics now, but only one of them is finished--so I should probably share that one. :D It's short, but I'm still very happy with it. I got to write a snarky, compassionate Markus, a remorseful Leo, an adorable Connor, and the rest of the crew to give them all a hard time (Bless, North, honestly).
Thank you for reading! (Now I should go work on finishing the others...)

Excerpt:
Markus abused his position of power to convince a nurse to let him into the ICU.
While he’d help pave the way for android rights, there was little to be done for things of the past. No matter what his relationship with Carl had been, on paper and in legal matters, Markus had no claim to the man or his relations.
As far as far as the hospital was concerned, Leo and Markus might as well have been strangers.
“Thank you,” Markus said, nodding to the nurse that had led him to the ICU. Hank had been moved to a regular room earlier that morning, so Markus did not see Connor on his way. He felt grateful that Lieutenant Anderson was healing well, not only for the older man’s health, but because it meant Markus was alone with his thoughts. The temptation to call Connor for support was still there, but he had to do this alone. Markus spared the nurse one more smile before he asked to be alone. “I appreciate it.”
“Of course, sir,” the nurse said, eyes alight with admiration. “Let me know if you need anything.”
“I will.”
His fellow android left, leaving Markus in the doorway of Leo’s room. He counted to ten in his head before he dared to turn around and look. Markus took a step inside and gripped his hands into fists at his side.
The man looked small and frail in the bed, thin and stretched out with too many monitors attached and a breathing tube in his nose.
Leo looked like Carl.
“This was a mistake,” Markus whispered.
He took a seat in the guest chair anyway and waited for Leo to wake up.
